Route 66 Christmas

Santa and reindeer acetate overlay from Martha Stewart paper pak

plain acetate overlay - Santa and reindeer unknown stamp set

One of my husband's bucket list trips is to drive Route 66.  We accomplished that this year!  He had his list of must-sees.  I had mine.  And if you know me, you'd know my must-sees included Stamp Stores.  
I found this Village 3 Set in one of the stores along Rt 66.  It totally reminds me of all the old gas stations (some restored, some not) we saw along the way. 
I used a vintage watercolor technique that I learned from Heather Telford's blog. 



I'm adding it to these challenges:
